Heads up, shopaholics: if you're looking for another online store boasting green credentials, Smartly Green opened its doors this week with oodles of respected and well known names on board. You'll find all kinds of objects of desire here, from clothes and accessories to mobile phones and toys.
Now, seeing as almost every high street store I can think of seems to be represented here (including a smattering from Arcadia and Tesco) I can't comment on how ethical site is.
What it does do is allow you to offset your carbon footprint and earn cash back by doing so. By accessing your normal on-line shopping stores through the smartlygreen 'portal', smartlygreen get a commission from the retailers. The site use this commission to buy carbon offsets, and pay these back to you. Lazy? Maybe. But if you want to help plant some trees and don't have time to sow the seeds in person, this could be a good place to start!
